"When it is pointed out that the adult population ol the Head of the Lake is under one hundred the magnificent result of over £l5O speaks for itself. Mr Young informs mo that the collectors were invariably met with every courtesy and that the number of refusals could be oounted on the fingers

oi one hand. He also refers to the parent injustice- of the Railway Department in charging freight on gift articles for the sale. Amongst' the hardest workers were » the joint secretaries, Messrs Young and Hillman, Messrs J. Cronin and A. Clark, auctioneers, and their clerks, Messrs J. Reid and J. Tripp and T. Bryant; Mrs J. Reid, who looked after children's dip, realising £2 65,; Mcsdames Scott, Davidson, Harris Watherston and Messrs Hendry and Lloyd who ran the ladies' stall, which netted £lO 4s Bd, besides a balance of goods auctioned. It, is the intention of the Executive to hold the monies in trust until such time as it is ascertained whether there will be a Dominion Fund or another fund from which the Wakaapu wounded will benefit.
